Cool Running :: How has running changed your life?

I was reading about how running change people’s life. The same answers were, lost weight, more focused, high self confidence etc. These are all true in my case too. After running I feel so good. More energetic and felt like I accomplised big thing. After shower, I feel so relax.
I have been waiting to run for almost 2 months. I injured my muscle (Upper butt, I think big one) 2 months ago. Now, I feel that my muscle is getting better. I feel slightly pain on the spot, rather say Tired muslce. I jogged 3 miles on the beach yesterday. Very slow becasue I do not wish to make it worse. Today, so far felt little bit uncomfortalbe. I am hoping to run 3 miles tomorrow on the street. I hardly wait to recover fully and do long runs.
